LIGHTNING KILLS
THREE WORTHY YOUNG
MEN, AND
Seriously Stuns n Third.

BERTRAM, Tex, July 27.-The sad
dest affair in the history of our town
occurred this evening. At $50 p. m.
groupe of people cong:egated at the
rear end of G. W. Phenny's store and
were passing the time away pitching
dollars. a small cloud arose in the
north, from which came n stroke OF
Lightning, killing G.. w. Phenny and
Nj b. Sinclair, and perhaps mortaly
ipiuring Cain Sandiord and stunning
DR.. Haywood. Mr. Phenny was in,his
store wrapping up some coffee and
DIR. Haywood was sitting in chair
talking tc him. The Doctor is now
all right. Sinclair and Saudford were
standing outside.
Mr.. Sinclair was young man, and
has been justice of the peace here for
four years.
Mr.. Phenny, the other unfortunate
rictim, was merchant of the town.
Both are extc nsivcly and favorably
known throughout the county.
Mr.. Sanford is II young man who
lives in the Panhandle and was on .
visit 10 his parents, having been gone
five years. The doctors entertaiR
hopes for his recovery.
1t was painful sight to behold the
three SO suddenly struck down. and.a
gloom is cast over the town that time
alone can efface.

HalfHoliday.

That was rousing meeting at the
park last night. Mr.. O'Reily elected
chairman, made a good speech, and so
did DR.. Hayden. Mr.. Kirkland made
report for his committee which
showed earnest work ON their part,
meriting more favorable results than
attained. ..The merchants were
heard from, and some agreed to
close, unconditionally, who have not
done so before. While there is con-
siderable division as to the proper
time to close, ETC., yet all express a
willingness to grant the weekly half
holiday, which we shall be glad to see
succeed.

DIR. Talmage's First Cigar.

The time had come in my boyhood
which demanded of me q capacity to
smoke. The old people of the house,
hold could abide neither the sight nor
the smell of the Virginia weed. When
ministers came there, not by positive
injunction but by q sort OF an instinct
as to what. would be safest, they whitfield
their pipe on the back steps. If the
house could not stand sanctified smoke,
It may be imagined how little chance
there was for adolescent cigar-puffing.
BY some rare good fortune which
put in my hands 8 cents, found access
to a tobacco store. AS the lid of the
long, narrow, fragrant box opened, and
for the first time l owned 4 cigar, my
feelings of citation, manliness, superb
GRITTY, and anticipation can scarcely be
imagined, a W by those who have had
the same sensation.
When l put the cigar to my lips and
stuck the lucifer-match to the end of
the weed and commenced to pull with
an energy. that brought every facial
muscle to it's utmost tension, my salts
faction with this world was so great,
my temptation was never to want to
leave it.
The cigar did not burn well. 1t re-
Quired an amount of suction that task
ed my determination to the utmost.
You see that my worldly means had
limited me to a quality that cost only
three cents. But l had been taught
that nothing great was accomplished
without effort, and sc I pulled away.
Indeed l had heard my older brothers
in their Latin lessons say, onanSa viHcSt
labor; which, translated, means. if you
want to make anything 60, you must
scratch for it.
With these sentiments, I passed down
the village street, and out toward my
country home. My head did not feel
exactly right, and the street began to
rock from side to side. so that it be-
came rather uncertain to ME which
side of the street I was on. So I cross
ed over, but found myself on the
same side that I was on before I cross
d over. Indeed, I imagined that I
was on both sides at the same time, and
several fast teams were driving between.
I met another boy, who asked me why
I looked SO pale, and I told him that !
did not look pale, but that he was pale
himself. After some further walking,
I sat down under tho bridge near my
house and began to reflect on the pros
pect of early decease, and on the uncer-
tainty of all early expectations. I had
determined to smoke the cigar all up,
and thus got the full worth of my
money, but wasfinally obliged to throw
three-folrths of it away. | knew, how
cvey, exactly where I threw it, in case
l should feel better the next day.

it is to delude a poor sufferer into the belief
that some worthless iniment will cure rheu-
matism and neuralgia. Honesty is the best
policy in the manufacture of proprietary ar
ticlesa as in all other matters, and the fact that
the proprietors of Athlophoros have never
claimed for it even all its merit would war
rant has not a little to do with its wonderful
popularity, and the thousands Of grateful
testimonials received by them show that
their policy has been wise as we'll as right.
Experience has amply demonstrated
that mere outward applications are worth
less. The disease has it's seat in the blood,
and any remedy to be<successful must deal
with the obstructive acid which poisons
and inlames it.
A%thlophoros acts on the blood, muscles
and joints directly. It takes the poison
out Of the blood and carries it out of the
system; it invigorates the action of the
joints. It reaches the liver and kidneys,
cleansing them from irritating substances,
and. if followed up after the rheumatic
conditions cease, it will restore these organs
to regularity and health.
DR.. w. D. Bryant, GAINESVILLE, Mo, saws:
II bought a bottle Of Athlophoros for q
lady. She had not taken all the bottle be-
fore she was so far restored, as to resume
her household duties. She had been con-
fined to her bed for three weeks, unable to
turn herself. The disease was infamma-
tory rheumatism. She has not had q re-
currence of it since. Athlophoros is all
that is claimed for it."
E. Moore, Stahl, No., y "Four bot
ties of Athlophoros cured me Of rheuma-
tism two years ago, and I have not felt q
pain or ache since"
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they cam
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co., ll2 Wall St.. New York, will
send either carriage paid) OF receipt OF
regular price, which is $1.00 per bottle
for ~Athlophoros and soc. for Pills.
For liver and kidney diseases, dyyspegsia, in.
Of women, constipation, headache, impure
blood, &C., Athlophoros Pills are unequaled. IL

The Paris StOck-Exchan"e.

Edward King describes, in the March
Cosmopolitan, one of the most interest
ing institutions of Paris, as follows:
II the %peaceable daughters of heaven,
who n ce wandered through the pref
ty arcades of the Convent Of the Daugh-
tiers of St. Thomas d'Aquinas, could
have forseen that the site of their num-
merry was to be occupied by one of the
great temples of commerce, and was to
become a rendezvous for the most ex-
citablc commercial class in Christen-
dom, they would have felt some
slight perturbation in their innocent
breasts.
The Paris bourse, or exchange, the
building of which was decided by an
imperial decree dated March 16, 1903,
was erected almost in the exact centre
of the French capital : on a part of the
grounds that, up to 1890, had been &C.
cupied by the aforementioned con-
vent. Napoleon, with his magnificent
eye to business, saw that this was the
exact spot for the daily meetings Of all
classes of commercial people, and so he
Illuminated one of his DEGREES.
The state gave the site, the city OF
Paris paid down the money for the ex-
penses of building, and the old archi-
tcct Brouglart furnished the plans for
the edifice on the model of a pagan
temple. He had spent a little more
than 5000, 900 francs, when, in 1918,
death carried him off, and his>successor,
M. Labarre, continued the work until
1927. The edifce was dedicated on
the I'd of November 1886.
Surroundedbvits majestic Corinthian
columns, fourteen upon each of the
fronts and twenty upon either side, the
bourse of Paris is, perhaps, one of the
most important edifices of the capital.
Decorated with costly statues ofJustice,
Fortune, Abundance, and Prudence, ii
is a veritable 'monument''in the Euro
pean sense. It's interior is exceedingly
simple. The central hall, reserved for
the operations on Change can hold
about two thousand persons on the
ground floor. A spacious gallery, ex-
tending entirely round this hall, en-
ables the populace of Paris and the
strangers to observe the mad antics Of
the speculators-antics that are as
ridiculous and remarkable as those
on the New York stock-exchange. All
the French volubility and capacity fol-
gesture are here intensified a thousand
fold.

Admiral Ceurbet's Brain FOOD.

&Ss@EE EE-
Tho following yarn was spun me
several years ago by n Of Courbet's
former mossmates:
Some years ago, when the hero Of
Tonquin was a simple lieutenant, he
was detailed in company with half q
dozen sailors to explore "a savage por-
ton of the west African coast near Da-
honey. For days they had traversed
the wilderness without meeting any
thing in the shape of animal life save
monkeys, squirrels, small birds, and
like game, too spry to admit of capt
ure. Exhausted by fatigue and famine
the little caravan found itself one day
at eventide wandering helplessly about
in a Jungle of outrageous verdure.
Suddenly n of the men espied a hut,
neatly ensconced ina group of palms.
Entering, they found three negresses in
the act of making their painfully simple
toilet. Having conciliated the swarthy
forest nymphs by the gift of some glass
beads, Courbet demanded food. The
dusky "maitresses de la maison'' be-
stirred themselves with generous ZEAL.
and soon produced some eggs, which
n Of the sailors broke into a sauce
pan and placed upon the fire.
"Now, what shall we put with them?"
asked Courbet. ave have neither
butter, lard, nor cheese"
Gazing around the hut, one of the
sailors espied a bunch of mushrooms
hanging on the wall.
In a twinkling the mushrooms were
seized upon and delivered to the cook
pro tenn, who speedily sliced them up
and flung them in the saucepan.
Upon beholding this brisk appropriate
ton of theil*stores the three dusky danes
gave a frightful screech, threw them
selves OF their knees before Courbet,
and seemed by their gestures to i'm
plore the restitution of their mush-
rooms. Vain prayers.
In due time the omelet was cooked,
served, and eaten. Their hunger ap-
peased, the unceremonious Gauls were
about taking leave of the victnnizcd
ladies when five stark-nakcd savages
dashed into the hut with q blood-curd-
ling yell. 1t was the proprietor accom-
panied by his four sons. Immediately
the women broke out afrcsh with their
p%laintiye howls, pointing to the place
whence the mushrooms had been so
ravenously snatched.
The sayages took in the situation ut
a glance and rushed upon Courbet
and party, fcrociously brandishing
their clubs. Courhert lost no
time in drawing his re-
volvcr. and his men followed suit.
Thus armed, they advanced threaten
ingly toward the Infatuated negroes,
who, finding themselves immensely in
the minority, hastily modified their
maneuvers, while the father of the flock
stammercd out u few words of mangled
English by way Of explanation.
Horrible revelation! From the words
of this old cannibal Courbet learned
that the supposed mushrooms were no
mushrooms at all, but simply human
brains which the provident housewife
vas drying in the sun against q rainy
day.
Courbet acknowledged afterward that
he had never eaten so savory an omelet.
Albeit the Immediate effects were disas-
trous.-Detr0St Tree Press.

A Protecting Providence.

1t will not be difficult to mention
cases in which eminent individuals
have been preserved from danger and
death by the. manifest hand Of provi-
dence.
John Knox, the Scoth reformer, had
many enemies, who sought to compass
his destruction. He was in the habit
Of sitting in a particular chair in his
own house, with his back to the win
dow. One evening. however, when
assembling his family, he would neither
occupy his accustomed seat nor allow
anybody else to do SO. That very
evening a bullet was sent through the
window with a design to kill him.. 1t
grazed the chair which he usually oc-
occupied, and made a hole in the
candlestick.
It is related of Augustine that he was
going on one occasion to preach at a
distant town, and took a guide to direct
him ON the way. By some means the
guide mistook his way, and got into a
by-path. 1t was afterward learned
that a party of miscreants had designed
to waylay and murder him, and that
his life was saved through the guides
mistake.
Charles of Bala was once saved from
death by what some would call a fool
ish mistake. On one of his Journeys to
Liverpool his saddle-bag was put into
the wrong boat. He had taken his seat
when he discovered it, and had to
change at the last minute. At first he
was vexed and disappointed, but he
afterward learned that the boat in
which he intended to go was lost, and
all its passengers drowned.
Howard, the philanthropist. was
once preserved from death by what
some would call more chance, but
which was no other than a special
providence. He always set a high value
On Sabbath privileges, and was exact
and careful in his attendance on the
means of grace. That he might neither
increase the labor of his servants nor
prevent their attendance on public wor-
ship, he was accustomed to walk to
the chapel at Bedford, where he at
tended. One day a man whom he had
reproved for his idle and dissolute
habits resolved to waylay and murder
him. That morning, however, for. some
reason Or other, he resolved to go on
horseback, and by a different road.
Thus his valuable life was preserved.
Rev. John Newton was in the habit
of regarding the hand of God in every
thing, however trivial it might appear
to others. 1.-The way of man is not in
himself" he would say. 81 do not
know what belongs to a single step.
When I 60 to St. Mary .Woolnoth, it
seems the same whether l go down
Lothberry, OF 60 through the Old
Jewry; but the going through n
street and not another may produce an
effect of lasting consequence. A man
cut down my hammock in sport, but
had he cut it down half an hour later I
had not been here, as the exchange of
the crew was then making. A man
made a smoke on the seashore at the
time a ship was passing, which was
thereby brought to, and afterward
brought me to England."-Ihe Queer

Travelling Perfumery shoes.

A decided innovation is to have, be-
tween the dress waist and the lining,
sachet powder; in fact, the whole waist
Of the dress serves as one large sachet.
While this may make the dress a little
heavier, and consequently add to its
warmth, it is just what was needed for
winter weather. Evening dresses are
also treated in this way. Violet seems
to be the favoriteaodor.

Old Men for Wisdom.

When a young Russian marries, the
brides father hands him a stick as an
emblem of authority. 1t is decorum
for the happy bridegroom to haugghtily
refuse at first, insisting that the bride
will not need it. The father forces it
upon him, saying he knows a thing or
two about it himself. Young hubby
takes it with apparent reluctance, but
later on, is he uses it with fine effect,
realizes that the old man was right.
